The Making of Beggars Banquet of The Rolling Stones FLIPSIDECT PT 2

[@ministerofdarkness]

All time favorite Stones record!! True Masterpiece!! PLAY LOUD!!

[@FlipSideCT]

Play it loud indeed! It must be played this way! It is just amazing how they pulled this one out of the air!

[@djinnmagik2003]

I love all The Stones albums, but my personal favorite is "Tattoo You!" Beggars Banquet may be my second favorite Rolling Stones album 😁💖🎶

Flipside once again you've knocked this out the park, love this. Thank you !

[@FlipSideCT]

My pleasure! thanks for commenting and letting me know. !! Pt3 is work in progress

[@Paneeks1960]

Wow Steve. Those clips from the Godard 'Sympathy for the Devil' film were fantastic. I never saw it. But after seeing this I am not going to miss it~ Rob/Boston

[@FlipSideCT]

The film is on YT, and can be watched. However, music fans fast forward thru plenty. thank you for all Rob!

[@theclashcalling_]

Always a 'good day' when a FlipSideCT Stones-related deep dive drops! Looking forward to this. And remember: this is The Stones' World and we are mere visitors!

[@FlipSideCT]

nice !! TY! you should enjoy it! I did! We are so lucky to have witnessed them!

[@RickM01]

Steve - I sincerely appreciate your research, compiling, and editing, all the amount of work that went into examining Sympathy for the Devil and surrounding events in Stones lore - Brian, the film, the various players to make it happen, etc. Brilliant! Love the bass, vocal, and guitar separation. The women giggling in the beginning of the song is perfect for what comes after. I'm glad they didn't edit stuff like that out. By the way, you have an engaging talk over voice. Thanks again and when the spirit(s) move you I am into your projects! - Rick

[@FlipSideCT]

thank you so much Rick.....it is wonderful to read this. Not for any ego, but knowing my work efforts are appreciated. I myself enjoy learning it as I go. You mention several points, and glad you did. I did like putting the isolations of instruments in, as they give a clear idea of the sound. thanks for your support. cheers

[@andy65guitar]

Your research is meticulous and the narration is riveting. I have now watched all of the "Making of" series! Fantastic work. I was thrilled when I saw that you were doing Beggars Banquet. I love all the acoustic guitars on this album. This was an extremely creative time for the Stones and music in general. Thanks for all your hard work on this and the others.

[@FlipSideCT]

Thank you Andy! nice comments and so glad you support these! I wished they would still do an all acoustic album, now more than ever! This timeframe is just mind blowing, and I wished I lived it!

[@familydogg1234]

When I bought Beggars Banquet on 8track in 1974- I never stopped listening to it!!!

[@FlipSideCT]

lol, great memory to hear it on 8 track. !!

[@richard8453]

Thank you for the whole series. As a long time stones fan I am familiar with some of this but I had no idea about the original lyrics to sympathy and sfm. Loving this and being on SS I can't wait to give you a small donation. Thank you again brother. Much appreciated.

[@FlipSideCT]

a pleasure Richard. From a fan for a fan. Glad you picked up on these. Enjoy the others! A pre thank you for your gift. Please include your email so I can email PART 2 to you!

[@Baz63]

this is such a superb video. To see the band working on Sympathy and the metamorphosis (pun intended) from acoustic to the version we all know and love was truly fascinating. Great work yet again Steve.

[@FlipSideCT]

nice to see this, thank you! I felt it gave a wonderful insight to the time period and actions. PT3 is work in progress.

[@djinnmagik1473]

Thanks for the awesome Stones doc, Steve. I really appreciate your work. I can't wait to see what you do next. 😁💖🎶

[@FlipSideCT]

cool to hear that. so glad to see your comments. I really wished more fans would see it. PT3 is being worked on now. it keeps growing.

[@JerryCohen-n6e]

I not only enjoy your time and effort, but APPRECIATE everything you have posted! If things get better for me, Than l'll try to help you out with your efforts. Cant make promises, but either way my heart's with everything you share?✌️

[@LAboomR]

Brother, thank you for all the effort and research you put into this 🙏🏽 I was 13 & had my first “everything” to this album when it came 21:36 out 😁 It is a masterpiece ! Still is my favorite stones Lp.

[@FlipSideCT]

you are welcome, and thanks for sharing and letting me know. This keeps me going! I can just imagine hearing this back in 68'. A true masterpiece!

[@brianbard3410]

Just as it is in the blues, its not or never about speed of solos, it's all about feeling and how it enhanced the song. A vehicle for the song.

[@Giggabitten]

You have really set a new standard with your "Making of" documentaries. These are far and away the best deep dives into The Rolling Stones that exist - anywhere. Thank you for your efforts, they are truly appreciated.

[@FlipSideCT]

nice to hear and see Luke, thank you! I would agree on the deep dives, there is nothing that has ever been deep like this, so I figured someone needed to do it!

[@PaisleyPatchouli]

Brilliant scholarly work here! This perennially beloved song will only be enhanced by the illumination you've cast upon its creation. Well done, and thanks!

[@FlipSideCT]

Thank you for sharing that. It is well appreciated, and really glad you enjoyed this as a Stones fan! PT3 is work in progress! check out the others!

[@TheRockinBud]

Congrats, its an honor and blessing to have the opportunity to step into a time machine and return to 1968 when I was 21 and to relive the experience of this groundbreaking LP, which for me along with LIB is my ultimate Rolling Stones rush. Your scholarship, research and oratorical commentary are worthy of cinema quality production and I believe that your work should be presented in the media of cinema. I actually enjoyed this piece more that J L Goddard's work. I'm anxiously anticipating BB Part III. Let's raise a glass to The Rolling Stones and to FlipsideCT.

[@FlipSideCT]

Thank you my dear Rockin Bud friend! coming from deep from my heart and mind! So glad to have you as a TRUE STONES and RnR FAN! thank you for the wonderful comments and understanding and purpose of these DOCS. Your comments make me move ahead.....it is very cool to know I out did JLG! Part 3 is WIP, and going to be deep also! We will both get to relive the greatness! All the best, from the HARD WORKING PEOPLE. YAH!!!!!

[@sparkymcplumpthepolydactyl2079]

Absolute masterpiece documentary! Thank you my man! Going to see Stones in Cleveland 6.15.2024! It’s only Rock-n-Roll!

[@FlipSideCT]

thank you Sparky for mentioning this. appreciated, and can tell you are a true fan. nice. Enjoy that show and absorb the treat!

[@Swimkid1]

Hello once more friend, It’s the middle of the night over here Mick lol. It is 4.25am, I’m not sure what time this makes it over there in the ‘big ole USA’. I’m thinking that ‘good evening’ is likely to be appropriate. Thank you for yet another pukka presentation, as usual Mick, a genuinely riveting watch and of course… highly interesting. It’s easily identifiable just how much dedication and hard work goes into making one of these for us geez! I bought the album late - in 1977/1978 or thereabouts (I would be 20yrs old Mick. If I’m honest it was much later in my life when I came to ‘get it’ and appreciate the album. I kinda got to know their music whilst aquatinting myself with Let it Bleed, thinking to myself… ‘ I should’ve b***** well bought this one instead Mick ha!ha! Oh well, hey’ haven’t we all experienced this type of thing at some point in our lives? But there’s a lot in there, if one really listens and gets proper involved. So, it’s thanks again from me over here in sunny SE England (East Sussex as explained in my previous chat Mick re Redlands etc.). I’ve become tired and weary as my sleep is all mucked up, I hope this comment makes sense and I wish you and your family well geez thanks. Warm regards, Dave. 🇬🇧✌️

[@FlipSideCT]

all the best Dave, thank you for your sharing you comments. This album was surely one that is not for a casual fan. The genuine fan, does know the greatness! Pt3 is a work in progress. Have fun in sunny East Sussex. I will, in Connecticut. thanks! Steve🌞

[@kurtdavidson9808]

It’s Christmas in September. I just got home and was kinda bummed out after a hot day working all day and what did I find. FLIPST I CK….. so freaking happy. Told my family that they have to leave me alone so I can sit back and enjoy another masterpiece. God Bless you for all these wonderful documentaries. I watch them over and over. Thank you!!

[@FlipSideCT]

very cool to see your comments Kurt! I am glad to hear that this can make a bad day turn good! It should be worthwhile and help your evening along! thanks for your support

[@jonrossum8647]

Also I’d like to compliment you on your near perfect narration - clear, and perfect speed , rhythm / great sound, and without filler or commentary so please continue with all the stones albums - I’ll get my arse over to your PayPal sir- well done

[@FlipSideCT]

cool Jon. appreciate that feedback. All purposely done, to allow not only absorbing visuals / music / narration but to allow you to think! See my Playlists!! thank you!!

[@laurieking7513]

Amazing

[@FlipSideCT]

@@laurieking7513 thank you Laurie!!

[@jonrossum8647]

I love how you deep dive into the inspiration behind the songs and take the care to explain the history and nuance ANDyou do so without losing sight of the narrative

[@FlipSideCT]

thanks for noticing this. Yes, the flow of the entire process is important and to stay on track. A challenge but fun!

[@Kensing]

@FlipSideCT My first donation EVER for any KZbin channel, I’ve made just now for you. I’m a broadcasting professional and every day I play your docs I’m astonished by your perfection. I don’t know if it will be a real help for you, but never in my life, I would think that one day I will make an important donation, but maybe it will not. But I want to say to you that YOUR WORK MAKES ME SO HAPPY THAT I NEED NO DOIUBT TO PAY AS I WILL PAY ANY BOX SET COLLECTOR OR ANY GIG TICKET. Thank you. I needed your work. Please, don’t stop. I am Dan Kirchner, from Barcelona. Thank you for being as you are

[@FlipSideCT]

Hola Dan, thank you for your kind words and especially support. I appreciate it all! I am moving on with these, as the financials are helping. As you can see, I have been putting my personal time into this, and it is a huge undertaking and organization all around. Keeping the momentum is important. As I always say, from a fan for the fan. It is great to see that this makes you happy. I know I would be as a fan. We need to keep the Stones going, especially with the younger crowd. Many greats are being pushed aside and lost. I will respond to your PAYPAL via MESSAGE. If you can respond back, that would be good. As I will need ALL donators emails. So I can email all a link, AS I plan to make a special doc for all of you as an appreciation. ETA for new project will be in a few months cheers steve P.S. been to Barcelona, I also stayed in Arenes De Mar. many years ago! loved it

[@nurknanker6105]

Whenever we watched 1+1 in a theater, the whole audience would erupt in laughter at Micks vocal adlib " Boom boom, agit down!"😂 My guess purple pants looks like Spanish Tony or Chris Wood.

[@FlipSideCT]

In the theater is all much bigger and those little bits are enhanced! LOL thanks for sharing, I believe it. Yes.....I do believe that is Spanish Tony. I realize that now more as I see him at Nellcote / Exile doc more, and will talk about him. cheers and thanks!

[@jonrossum8647]

These awesome documentaries have broadened my perspective on each of the STONES’ individual and unique artistry

[@FlipSideCT]

fabulous to hear that Jon....very cool! Very glad that these have been a positive experience! thanks for sharing and letting me know! PT3 is in process,

[@ronfast2]

Always a good day when a Flipside Ct comes out. (Even better when discharged from the hospital with huge fackin kidneystone). Ima gonna lay in bed Keef style drooling and watch as much as I can before nodding out on the legal pharmaciticals I came home with and some really good weed and hash. Gnite

[@FlipSideCT]

blah....sorry to hear the Kidney Stones , I hear it is horrible! It sounds like the got the goods to ride it out and get a nice watch of BB also! enjoy! Steve

[@sknowbyrd1]

Another excellent piece of work, thank you. Would love to know more about Prodigal Son while you're on this album. I'be always loved that song as well as Factory Girl.

[@FlipSideCT]

totally appreciate your nice comments! TY I will do my best on those for sure!

[@domeniccantiello1895]

Yo Steve! Hey man, jumping in here late again. I really love how you’re breaking this one down I’ve seen this sympathy for the Devil documentary in the movie theater. The very day it first came out. I’ve also seen so many different variations of it on KZbin also. Now, I really liked the way you presented this one. There’s a whole lot of information that you provided that was not in the original documentary. It’s great Steve! You are also providing a great service to our young fans that weren’t around back then. You know, a lot of people don’t even realize how many other musicians, people, engineers, producers, Assistant personnel, and such! You always cover it all. Rolling Stones, albums, tours projects, and stuff are always huge, massive things. You have it all covered Steve. Like I always said before, you even surprised me a lot of times. I mean, I can’t wait for part three, Steve.BTW, I heard some of the brand new stuff from the”HackneyDiamonds” album. It’s fantastic OK, then, Steve, keep it going then you are the king of stones docs! until next time. Cheers my friend!…PHILLY-DC.

[@FlipSideCT]

Damn cool comments Domenic! more smiling as I read it! Sometimes I am not sure where I am going when I do these......but you basically covered my methodology and approach. First, glad you picked up on the Godard info. There is deep thought and a mission statement. Which basically says, to make it flow and provide as much as I can. Pretty much dead on also, as I am concerned with the younger audience and want to spoon feed them on the how/why's. So kudos to you for the always keen observations! thank you! Well when you mean "stuff" from Hackney Diamonds, that tells me more than the single. Great to hear that, Angry did not disappoint. I am thinking of having a live / interactive session to discuss the album maybe the day after release....depends how many times I can review it to get its feel! cheers my friend!

[@gregdettling6693]

@ Flip Side CT Yesss I think so too. This song is just pure genius and out of this galaxy! MidnightRambler has been called a Blues Symphony. I think Keith said that. 1968 in Italy Keith and Mick wrote it in a cafe. This is also a sort of Symphony for woo woo Maybe like a Rock n Roll mamba Symphony. We need to remember they had a rock n rock circus in mind by the end of that year. Their songs around that time I hear them as beautiful genius Rock Symphonies, around that time, if there can be such a thing. BIGGER BETTER and in YOUR FACE and HITTING YOU RIGHT OVER THE HEAD. Who could not notice their music that time ??? Tell me what’s my name !!!! And WOO WOO and that blistering high pitched guitar solo by Keith that just elevates off the record and cuts right through everything!!!! The philosopher Martin Heidegger would be proud of them for his concept of EXISTING AS ‘STANDING OUT IN THE HERE AND NOW! That music does that. It stands out as a genuine thing.

[@southsheff]

Great work as ever Steve! Jagger was always a big Cricket fan and fancied himself as a medium fast Bowler when younger (with a graceful run up.) I think he is a member of the MCC elitist cricket members club and has always enjoyed the company of "Toffs". Great that you concentrated on such a historic pivotal song from the album. Really looking forward to part 3!

[@FlipSideCT]

appreciated you sharing this. It would make sense Mick was involved with many sports. I did not realize how far I would go with Sympathy.....it just kept on going, and myself learned plenty. Part 3 will be a blast. cheers!!

[@Camper2507]

And Bill was a pretty useful cricketer, too - once took at hat-trick at The Oval. Brian’s tights are MCC colours, no?

[@GigGuyWarner]

Keep pumping these out…👍🏻sticky, exile, & Rock & Roll to come….(Hopefully)

[@FlipSideCT]

Thanks Guy for your comments. Sticky, yes. Exile, there is way to much out there in documentaries already. But I will say, I am going to make something related to Exile. But for donators at first. please check the others in my playlists.

[@Swimkid1]

Hello again Steve, Walking through more history with you thanks mate. Although I'm unable to donate any money at this time, I really want to share just how grateful I am - and how much I thoroughly enjoy your presentations. I try to always write and share in the comments how much I love and appreciate your Stones work Steve (I think I called you Mick the last time I wrote in the comments lol). Something I'd like to add here if I may please re Brian and his substance abuse. I've read some time ago that Brian was using Tuinal (Barbiturate). As many of you out there may be aware, anyone using Tuinal will be unable to actually do very much, let alone concentrate enough to play an instrument. I'm just pointing out the difference between the types of drugs. That as Mick once stated... Brian was on the wrong types of drugs. Tuinal are handy for coming down from stimulants etc. - but a person to use them for their primary source of abuse will never be able to get anything much done. Plus, because of being incapable, also get on everyone's nerves. It kinda makes sense looking at Brian's decline I believe. Warm regards and many thanks again, Dave UK

[@FlipSideCT]

Hey Dave, thanks for sharing your info and support! no problem with Mick. I am glad to share and hear from fans, ALWAYS!. It is important for me. I am sure Brian was a handful. I know of Eli Lilly F66. NEver ever took it. But my NJ druggie crowd in mid 70's were active with these. They told me 1 = a 6 pack of beer. They would take 3 or 4. I have no idea how or why. No idea how anyone can function. I worked in a pharmacy in early 80's and would remove the powder and create placebos for them. Not a proud topic matter, pretty sad when I think about it now. So I get it. The Mandrax Qualudes I know were big for London. cheers and thanks

[@ThomasSmethers]

DIDNT KNOW WHICH ONE, BUT PRETTY SURE THEY WERE : DOWNERS!! HELLO! WE ALL DID THEM ONCE...ONCE...THEN WE PRETTY MUCH GOT IT!! Like Sir Mick said "WRONG DRUG!!" HAHA...WHAT A FOOL...SOMEONE, ANYONE SHOULD HELPED BRIAN TO SEE HOW STOOPID HE WAS ACTING!!

[@davidrule1335]

Re-watching your stuff. Man you dug deep into this Stones thing. On Street Fighting Man my favorite part is the strange sounds after the last chorus. Had to be something Brian did IDK

[@FlipSideCT]

nice that you are coming back to it. Yes, that ending creshendo is powerful. You can see why they save it for the end of a show.

[@bradc32]

Sympathy is a masterpiece.those lyrics always grabbed me....

[@FlipSideCT]

it stands on it's own, and like nothing else! Amazing how the lyrics stand out and grab us!

[@chilecayenne]

As I was watching Part 2 here, it dawned on me, that I think I forgot to THANK you for part 1 last time?!?! :O This series, like all you've done so far is classic, priceless and SO informational and entertaining!! Can't wait for Part 3. I've often enjoyed the age of KZbin, where you can just watch the Stones only parts of the One+One movie...and not have to be bothered by the Godard filler content, as I like to think of it. Haha. Thank you and have a GREAT day and weekend my friend!! The best to you and yours...hope all is well!! CC

[@FlipSideCT]

always a pleasure my friend CC......thank you and you are welcome! I do feel this is priceless info. It is all there, but not compiled like this, which is the beauty here. I was really pleased on the content and pieces I pulled from Godard, but still gave a short but informative display of that tough to watch DeConstruction. Best to you also! all good....need a break now. But PT3 as expected will be sweet to do.

[@dtlbonniediva]

Thank you again Steve - you're the best - just settling in to watch the video now - know it's gonna be great like all your work!!!!

[@kellypeterson2625]

Fantastic Steve! I don't know how you unearth all these details. I knew the song was inspired by the book that Marianne turned Mick onto, but the detail you dug up on that is fascinating. I own that dvd (sympathy for the devil) Did not know they were reading from Eldridge Cleaver's book. So much stuff. Fabulous job Steve. Your comments on the song are so illuminating. We all have evil inside of us. All of us. I'm definitely going to PayPal you later this weekend. Thank you so much my friend

[@FlipSideCT]

Thank you / Thank you Kelly. Glad to see your comments. Like many authors, it is all about digging relentlessly to find details that are out there. Books, Forums, articles, interviews are the starting points. Gathering the details is one thing, going down each topic's rabbit holes the next part. I had to read many articles to dig into Godard's side of things, and get explanations. Not just one article, but many, to make sure it holds truth. A huge challenge and undertaking. I have heard interviews of an author of a book I am reading, David Grann's: The Wager......he went and studied journals and articles on this great book's detail of a shipwreck in 1740 and compiled a book. Same type of model. Nice pick up on Eldridge, glad you are in tune with the details I put out there. The song comments, are just from the heart and ears, and as the musician you know allows us to break it down easily. Yes, our devil's will never subside in humanity. We never learned and will not learn. thank you so much for your support! I am so grateful for it! cheers my friend!

[@fittobetiedyed5315]

Didn't miss this one. I was never clear on where the filming of the song's creation came from. Another knowledge gap filled, with many thanks to you.

[@gregdettling6693]

@ Flip slide CT That one is always hard to locate on KZbin for some reason. Maybe it hasn’t been....awww not very well known 1972 Jam video perhaps but it’s a gem. I love this old footage of them. Tonight when I get home I’ll see if I can find you a more exact title for it.

[@kathleenwilliamson5151]

Steve, Our resident Stones-meister! What a week of unbelievable timing with the band. By chance I was coincidentally using an authorized Stones mug for my coffee this week, and what happens: the boys are interviewed live by Jimmy Fallon about their upcoming release on YT which I caught while watching the FIBA World Cup; they unveiled a new song (which I’m still not sold on it but no doubt it will grow on me); they absolutely blew my mind with the new video for the song; and you debuted Part 2 of the Making of BB! It was basically an official Stones Week, with more to come. Your opening shots from “At the Max” brought back amazing memories of seeing that concert in IMAX. I cannot believe that is over 30 yrs ago. One of my favourite tours and I didn’t even have good seats at either show. It was interesting hearing about the one/two degrees of separation for Terry Melcher to the Stones via Ry Cooder. Melcher is infamous due to his connection to Manson. If you want to really dig deep about Melcher and Manson, try reading “Chaos”, by Tom O’Neill who tries to uncover more about the CIA mind control experiments under MK Ultra. O’Neill makes some compelling points. The book was even mentioned on the “Disgraceful” podcast. You are so generous when you promote/expose other secondary characters in the Stones’ world who go unsung, whether session players, engineers, photographers, other podcast or YT channels, hanger-oners, etc. While those photos from Sarum Chase and Swarkestone Hall Pavilion are quite familiar, I must admit I hadn’t known the history of them, or who had taken them. That’s you, always teaching us something. Whenever I watch the JLG film “Sympathy for the Devil” I have to skip through whatever he was interspersing in the otherwise great documentary. I do prefer films over movies, but this is too pretentious, avant garde, and unintelligible for me. The parts with the Stones are similar to the recent “Get Back” series about the Beatles in the studio. I always find it fascinating to see how the sausages are made when you get to go behind the scenes. I don’t think I’d heard before that Brian could have been using heroin. The filming lights would definitely have changed the ambience within the studio, even more so once the studio caught fire. You did a great job finding so much coverage of the fire. As for the guy in the purple pants, my money is on Spanish Tony Sanchez? I also recall him in one or two shots in “Gimme Shelter” too. Split second cameos. Even when I was a teenager, I was always astonished at how deep the Jagger-Richards lyrics were, especially when they were in their early to mid 20s. It shows you how much better the education systems likely were back then, but it also shows you how expansive their intellectual curiosity is as well. Had you not pointed out how much Keef’s baseline in SFTD sounds like it could be from “Lust for Life”, I never would have picked that up, but the musician in you did. When you go to the recent Stones’ exhibits like the one for their 50th anniversary at the Rock Hall of Fame, or with Exhibitionism, you get to see the evolution of, or differences in Mick’s “devil” outfits since the 1989 tour on. They are all quite distinct but worthy of dressing Mick as Lucifer in their concerts. I wasn’t surprised at all when you said there’s more to come, ie Part 3, since you only addressed one song on BB, although it certainly is what many consider the definitive one from the album. It was very satisfying to see so many other contributors who understand your hard work, and the time commitment involved with your productions. While it may be a labour of love for you, it also is a sacrifice as it takes you away from doing other things. You have entertained us for many years, given us incredible pleasure, and some of us know that’s worth something on its own. Very salt of the earth. Let's drink to the hard workin' people. Cheers buddy.

[@FlipSideCT]

a thorough enjoyable comment read, always the tops! Thank you, and you hit so many great points. YES!!!! That is Tony. Saw still photos! cool TY!! It figures it would be you to mention Lust for Life! nice to see you on top of it! I do not believe it was Heroin that Brian was shooting, I thought something else. I already got a Brian fan, trying to call me out on this. I had to direct her to the exact interview it was said. Not the first time, she is 90% angry. Thanks for the acknowledgements and support. Yes, such a sacrifice on my side. I can not read or listen to much outside music while working on these. Love your last comment!! TY. !!!!! cheers back

[@FlipSideCT]

oh, I think you are aware of Jobriath. Give a watch to this doc, it is well done. kzbin.info/www/bejne/oJjZhaaghL9lf6M

[@joerombi8555]

Even though I wasn't really interested in the Godard part, you kept me with it. The Stones took over my soul on July 26th, 1972 when Channel 5 in NYC showed "Gimme Shelter" twice over the weekend of Jagger’s 29th birthday. What bit into my soul was that I had just been to the barber that day...

[@FlipSideCT]

good to hear. as a Stones fan, this is historic and one of kind exposure from the Film for the Stones portion. I can remember how rare it was to see Gimme Shelter, and we would travel anywhere. thanks for sharing

[@GIBKEL]

It is one of the oddest and unique song creations in their catalog. So unique to watch and hear it evolve. That this was captured by chance on film is kismet. For some strange reason, this is the musical equivalency of Schrödinger's cat in my minds eyes. I can’t explain the why of that? I had only recently seen this footage in the last few years. I would occasionally see it and then it would get yanked quickly. Keith’s bass is pure alchemy, along with Micks supernatural voodoo yowls that conjure up a warning. The guitar slash’s like a blade while that upright piano propels you off the ground. A fantastic part 2 of a truly strange marriage of music and film. You can’t look away as the song is deconstructed from our collective memory and then reassembled and transformed better than before. It’s such a strange experience. It’s so familiar and simultaneously so foreign. Thanks again for a great documentary. You never disappoint! Cheers and big respect for all the hard work and insight. Looking forward to all the parts to come. It was the first RS record I picked up used and it still surprises me every time I play it. Cheers and thanks 🙏

The Godard film truly shows how hard and complex it is to make a powerful original song. The film shows how much time goes into arranging a classic original tune. I love it! I can relate because I too am an original Songwriter and Muzik Producer 🎶

[@hankwedelmusic9965]

Once again an absolutely wonderful study of the creative process… Well done and congratulations, Steve! Here’s some discussion point observations 1. Although the film “One Plus One” was much derided, it was, up until this year 2023, and the “Get Back” doc., a far more watchable experience of a band working up a song in a London studio than the dark “Let it Be” movie ever was… 2. There’s a big in-joke in the dialogue of the non studio junkyard part of “One Plus One” because, at one point, one of the actors says, in his dialogue, “and I try… and I try… and I try…” clearly quoting “Satisfaction” 3. Bringing it all right up to date, The Rolling Stones 2023 brand new single, “Angry” repeats the formula of Keith playing a pumping bass and also playing a trademark Keith solo prominently… Looking forward to the next instalment!

Just found your great channel! Fantastic work. While watching PT2, I noticed that you have a still at 9:27 of a house you identify as Sarum Chase. It's not. This is actually a house in Redington Road (about 300 yds from Sarum Chase) and the picture dates from a time (about 10 years ago at a guess) when it was owned by an actor (his name escapes me!). It was sold to Tim Burton several years ago and has been extensively re-modelled by him. Sarum Chase itself has recently been the subject of extensive works over a number of years & it is now impossible to see very much of the house from the road.

Thank you very much for sharing and letting me you enjoy this channel. There are viewers who in the past point out things they notice, but they never open up with how they enjoy what I created first. With the amount of information I provide in each of these, there is a chance I mis-stated something. They never acknowledge my work effort or enjoyment of what I provided, just criticism. Your comments are the proper way to deliver this message and much appreciated and openly welcomed, so thank you.

@ Flip Side CT This song reminds me of two things RUMBLESTILLSKIN asking the girl if she can guess his name. And around that same era there was the boxer Mahamid Ali yelling on video WHATS MY NAME? What’s my name is a great line. To me kind of those two things come to life in a great rock song.

[@gregdettling6693]

@ Flip Side CT I had thought you may have not seen the one of those that starts off with Charlie’s drums and is mostly Mick T and Keith weaving on guitars. Mick T is quite good on this one but it isn’t just Solo and Rhythm. It’s definitely them playing together off of each other and weaving a bit. The others come up easily but this one often seems to be missed . And there are no vocals. Keith is sitting at first but as it gets heated up and sizzling Keith stands up to play. Bo-Diddly Guitar sound I think but sounds sooo Stones. Just wasn’t sure if you have observed this particular one. The others I’m sure you have seen. There is another one of Keith mostly playing with no vocals that is rather Bluesy or Jazzy I don’t mean that one. It’s the other one with no vocals. Starts out with a camera view of Charlie’s drums I think. From Greg

[@craigplanting8804]

I don't speak Russian, but my understanding is that most Russian words have several different meanings. Bulgakov was so brilliant he chose words which could be read on multiple levels, making the Master and Margarita something like three-dimensional chess. There is one English translation (dark red background, profile of a black cat on the cover) which footnotes a vast number of subtexts and double meanings. It's worth seeking out.

[@FlipSideCT]

yes for Ry. There are handfuls of mis information out there.. It is a tough task to dodge them.

[@gregdettling6693]

Well we got to remember that I’m just looking at one thing I happen to remember correctly- don’t know why that Ry guy always stands out for me but he does - and anyone else might correctly remember this or that BUT for you in making what you are making have to deal with thousands and thousands of facts and put it all back together in the correct sequence of events. And get it all spot on bulls eye correct. That’s a huge task. It sure not easy to be the number one authority of a long time Band like the Stones but you do it and so well. It comes to life so well the way that you do it. To be honest when I have tried to write some of it down ( their history ) it automatically reduced it somehow and made me feel oddly empty a bit. It’s a draining job to have to do. ENJOYABLE for the VIEWER but I think more than a bit TAXING for the person reproducing it - making it come back to life and stay alive Kind of like how Keith felt when he was writing his LIFE STORY. I don’t know what the word is for it exactly but it’s more fun to live it and watch it unfold than it is to try to recount it. And as Keith points out the story isn’t over. I’d hate to write the book of my life thinking I have to do this because the story of almost over but yet there is a need in us that THE STONES story needs to be told...needs to be recorded and captured and documented...preserved.... illustrated. For all to see and to exist as it really did until the end of time or at least for a very long time. Stephen King said in one of his books that words reduced things for the writer or speaker. The most important things are hard to say or can’t be adequately said. For the listener or viewer it might be a different story but for the producer. When you let a baby out into the world that you love ...yeah it’s like that. There can be a post par-tam thing that can take place. It’s your baby and you have to let it go. BUT WHEN YOU GET EXCITED ABOUT IT AND NAIL IT JUST RIGHT and get even more EXCITED ABOUT IT yeah that can feel so good! :) I like the way you made this documentary bit by bit detail by detail. Keith throwing a smoke to Brian. Keith wanting to change amps. Mick having a serious chat with Nicky. I always love your extreme use of CHRONOLOGICAL order in order the way it happened in time from beginning to end. Lots of detail. It fills in all the little gaps for me. Keith Richards in a book ACCORDING TO THE ROLLING STONES. That’s a nice book. Instead of according to so and so it is according to each of the Stones sort of topic by topic . I think in it KEITH SAID 1968 1968... there is a HOLE in there somewhere. Keep on nailing them for us Steve! ! ! Your documentaries are great ! ! ! Kind of like when the STONES nailed one and they and everyone automatically knew it too! ! !

[@gregdettling6693]

@ Flip Side CT I’ve thought many times of how I like to best break Stones history up and what I have thought many times makes the most sense. The pattern I keep coming to is that the mini periods seem to go in chunks of 3s. 59 60 61 Keith meets Mick at the train station. They remember each other from childhood. 62 the formation of THE BAND 63 CHARLIE joins on drums 64 first two US Tours - spring and fall. 65 Satisfaction 66 67 68 ) Jumpin jack flash and the new beggars banquet. Definitely 1968 spells a new era for the stones into their important mature mid period We will see the death of Brian in 69 and the first US tour since 1966 and with a new guitarist. Keith’s addiction to smack seems to start this year in 68 ( as we roughly concluded previously ) of course 67 set the stage beautifully and we see some important things come into place. Anita and Keith come together for example but 67 was the end of an era. 68 too we see Keith’s and the Stones meeting with soul mate / soul brother Gram. So Keith by 68 has Anita and Gram and soon to have Bobby Keys by his side too. 1969 ) 1970 ) 71 we see sticky fingers and the end of the bleed era tours and into exile. Really going into Exile from a main-street that had been on. ( in interview with Keith and Anita in 71 in south of France by Rolling Stone magazine Keith interestingly says ‘we finally got all the right people together’ Fingers had just come out. 1972 1973 we see the death of Gram We see a bit of the Angie atmosphere and the coming down again. We also see in 72 I think Bobby Keys getting pushed out. We see the demise of Jimmy miller in 73. Keith and Mick having to finish Soup more or less themselves. At least according to Keith and he wasn’t asked back after that. 1974 Departure of Mick T. at end of 74. But Keith has already started working with Ronnie down at the Wick by that point. 1975 1976 Toronto bust is on the horizon. 1977. Toronto bust. For Keith. 1978 1979 Keith kicks smack for good. The day he throws the bag of it out the window into the rain. Why do I feel like I seen that in a film?? 1980 ) 1980 was important for Keith I think because traditionally up until that point it was his off the road year and that meant into smack . You do see the pattern don’t you ? But he was completely off smack by 79. ( the pattern I notice: 68 was a big smack year for Keith then followed by tour tour . 71 was a bit of an off year so heavy into the smack. 72-73 was tour tour 74 time off Smack year . 75 76 tour tour 1977 would have been a heavy smack year . But the Toronto bust happened interrupting things a bit. 78 79 tour tour . Keith has said he liked Touring live because he always seems to turn into a junkie when he goes off the road and he also would always (relatively) clean up for the live tours. 1981 Last US tour for a while 1982 I think not touring much in the 80s made it hard for Keith because he quit smack and must have been counting on the tours for his focus and natural high- It helps GREATLY that they toured the US every 3 years for this mini era of 3 year groups to work so good. This break down into mini 3 year periods really words good for me and seems to just really fit and make so much sense. Anyways I really notice the pattern when I break it up this way. I go on.. 1983 Keith’s marriage on his own 40th birthday. 1984 1885 Death of Stu 1986 1987 1988 1989 Back on the Road once again. Steel Wheels and Rolling again!

@@FlipSideCT I feel like we got the old Jagger back before he got all choreographed and vocal lessons. I think we'll be surprised how good Andrew Watt will be at producing. Mick respects him and Andrew has excellent tastes when he's not picking up Grammys. He just did the new Iggy record. So he has good taste for other genres. I've heard people say Jagger's using autotune. I just linked them to "Ain't No Use In Crying" and said that's the same guy before he tried to distance himself and get slick. Lol. Sounds like they scrapped all the Don Was stuff and then did it in a month back in November-December. Probably the only Don Was stuff is the two Charlie songs but maybe they got Andrew to fix those too.

@@captainkirk70 I would make an announcement if that is done. But I have to really prep and plan for that!
